Can anyone tell me if bookerkeepers in Oz use the program SAGE.
Wife doing a course and would like to know if they use the same program.
Many thanks.

Wendy

Yes SAGE is used, however it's mostly MYOB.

Most popular are MYOB and Quickbooks. I use both and also still use Sage and there are very few differences.

Emiric

Thankyou both great help,she should be happy to know that at least they use it.

Hi SunshineGirl.
Would my wife who will be qualified (IAB Book-keeping and IAB computerised payroll) by the time we get to Perth have any problems getting work either employed or self?
thanks

SunshineGirl

I shouldn't think she'd have any problems. I'm a qualified accountant and there's loads of work. There's hardly any difference between UK and Australia when it comes to bookkeeping. A few differences in payroll but nothing that can't be picked up quickly.

Emiric

Thanks for the info that should set her mind at rest.

No Sage used here on the Sunshine Coast. I know several book keepers and accountants and none of them have heard of it.
Pity really, I used it in the UK and it's a good program

I use MYOB over here - I don't think SAGE is that common in Australia. MYOB is pretty straightforward to pick up though.

SunshineGirl

Agree MYOB is pretty simple to pick up if you've used Sage before.
